San Francisco Cohort 18 Orientation- Welcoming our Chai Group!

Today we say hello to our 18th cohort in San Francisco. 
We began with a lively orientation for parents and fellows together. 

After a warm introduction by our National Director, Tal Gale our fellows had an opportunity to create a family portrait and share a bit about their families with one another. 

       
               

Following the activity Gabi led a short "Limmud" with the families as well as an overview of the Diller Teen Fellows program. Overall, a great first meeting with the parents.

In the afternoon, the fellows stayed on to partake in our fellow Orientation which began with fellow introductions. The fellows and staff introduced themselves in creative ways such as interviews with people around the world, a movie theme song and a T-shirt show!

we continued with creating a facebook profile to get to know each other and play a game of "Friending" each other by knowing facts from our profile. 

 

                                                 

We continued with a speed dating activity to have some one on one time with the fellows. 

Then came time to begin Team building! 

 We ended the workshop by setting expectations for the year and processing the day.All and all a good start to our Diller Journey!
The fellows enjoyed getting to know each other and the program and we are looking forward to the rest of the year.
